Why is software essential for gas engineers?
If you’ve never worked with it before, the idea of needing software as a gas engineer might seem bizarre. But if you choose the right software, it will save your office and road teams huge amounts of time. You’ll see a huge ROI with gas engineer software. It will also help you to optimise your business, helping you reach both your current and long term goals.
The BigChange job management features work together in a single, all-in-one system. That means that the entire company will be working from the same data, meaning fewer mistakes. The BigChange route optimiser simplifies scheduling jobs by suggesting the most economical plan with the most appropriate engineers.
We recently wrote about the most common challenges solved by gas engineer software. Many of the challenges centred around managing staff and fleet. You can see where your fleet is in real-time, making it easy to fit in emergency requests and reallocate jobs. Not only will this bring down your fuel bill but you’ll also be able to fit in more jobs per engineer.
Engineers don’t need to go to the office for paperwork as all job sheets are digital. These are faster and ensure compliance, allowing you to send job information in real time.
Your CRM safely stores all information, keeping it organised and reducing errors (and headaches). Using a whole host of automations, from invoices to sending automated service reminders means you have less admin but better service.
Whilst you and your team are busy working in the field, your software is working hard as well. It turns your data into clear reports that help you make the best use of resources. That means better information, leading to business growth and profits. For more info, you can read our blog on how gas engineer software saves time and money.

How does gas engineer software enhance safety and compliance?
BigChange’s gas engineer software integrates safety and compliance into every part of your system. You can be sure that your team are on top of it every step of the way. We wrote a blog about enhancing on-site and off-site coordination with gas engineer software.
In practice, it means that you can create template documents across the system, for everything from quotes to SMS messages. Crucially, it also includes documentation and job sheets. You can choose the exact order of job sheets completion by engineers and even ensure that they answer all questions. This is perfect, for instance, for customers who have site-specific risk assessments needs.
BigChange’s template system also means that you have the benefit of both flexibility and strict rules for maximum effectiveness. You can access gas safety certificates, warning notices, and risk assessments at any time in the customer portal.
The CRM holds the documentation for every customer, so there is always an easy-access audit trail for all work. This is the perfect way to provide a full audit trail, with no need to worry about losing or misplacing paperwork.
A further benefit of digital gas safety certificates is that they can include photos and videos, providing evidence of work and certification. This also means that you have all of your essential regulatory documentation completed and stored in one place.
We always aim to help you ensure that your business is meeting the latest ISO standards and customer SLAs. Our insistence on providing full compliance also extends to your employee records. Our gas engineer job management system keeps track of employee certificates and skills and sends reminders for their expiry dates. You can also set up reminders for when it’s time to renew or update your compliance documents for the business.
